A Winter Wonderland IN the Apartment

To just cut to the chase, I'm here to show you how wintery and wonderlandy our wonderful apartment was for Christmas. Here it is...
 The Fireplace.
 Our tall Charlie Brown tree. I have always wanted a Charlie Brown tree...
thank you Christmas tree farm!
 The overall feel. I wish I had better photos. iPhone, you aren't always that smart.
 Fabric ornaments. So easy. You just cut squares of fabric, wrap it around the head of a pencil, dab it with a dot of hot glue, and shove into a styrofoam ball. That's it.
 Beaded ornament. Just hot glue a ton of beads of your choice to a styrofoam ball.
 I tried going out the box on this one. I MIXED fabric & beads. Watch out!

 Homemade felt garland. This was a bit more intricate but easy enough. 
Ruched tree skirt made from a round table cloth. Easy peasy. You just need an embroidery needle, thread, a table cloth, and scissors. 
 Making tissue paper Christmas trees with the girls. Can you say "spray glitter"!?
You get whatever kind of tree base you want and hot glue tissue paper on it in whatever way you want. A couple of us opted for tissue paper rosettes.
 Finished products & smiling faces.
I think I am going to add pearls to my tree for next year.
